Healing Pathways: The Tri-Cities Healing Pathway ministry has begun again to offer in-person healing sessions at Inlet United on Monday afternoons. Sessions can be booked for 1:15 or 2:00. That time on the 4th Monday of each month, however, is set aside for a gathering of practitioners. We also continue to offer the same prayerful, energy based healing sessions by distance healing techniques, which can be set up for any time during the week that works for the receiver. For distance sessions the receiver just relaxes somewhere comfortable at home to receive the healing energy that is sent. Remember that these sessions are not a substitute for medical care but a complement to it. To book a session contact 604-939-5513 or email healingpathway@inletunited.ca.
PMRC Prayers: In our own Pacific Mountain Region of the United Church of Canada, we pray for teachers and students at the end of the year and in preparation for summer break!
